Jon Ingold (inkle&#x27;s narrative director) has a great talk on game dialogue [1] -- he implements a scene from Blade Runner in Ink. Super insightful and entertaining.<p>I&#x27;ve been using Ink a lot lately and really appreciate the work the community has put into it! Our team released a suite of interactive songs [2] last year -- we used Ink (and its handy Unity integration) to implement the core mechanic of two-player lyric choices in real-time, and even used it to handle some truth table logic for the credits :)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_vRfNtvFVRo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_vRfNtvFVRo</a> [2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;evergreenblues.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;evergreenblues.com&#x2F;</a>

Heaven&#x27;s Vault is a great game, for anyone interested in playing an archaeologist who has to translate an ancient language and uncover secrets of a lost civilization.

Not strictly related, but it reminded me of <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;inform7.com&#x2F;about" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;inform7.com&#x2F;about</a>

I&#x27;ve been following Ink for a while because I went to uni with one of the founders of Inkle. As someone who isn&#x27;t a game developer, a possible use case for me is something like scripting chat bots or data capture wizards. I don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s actually a good fit for the problem, but the idea intrigues me.

I recognized the name from the game Stay?[0] A very good game I heartily recommend if you&#x27;re into fantasy.<p>0: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ejadelomax.itch.io&#x2F;stay" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ejadelomax.itch.io&#x2F;stay</a>

I&#x27;ve been using Ink for the game I&#x27;m developing and I love it. I tried Twine before that and as much as I like the visual interface of Twine, Ink has been a better fit for my needs.
